The first thing I cooked when I purchased my first immersion circulator was an eye of round roast. I wanted to sous vide this cut of meat because it can be difficult to cook a larger cut of beef, like a roast, and have it be perfectly done from edge to edge.

So many people cook roasts rare or medium rare, but in actuality, the roast is well done on the edges and only at the target temperature in the center of the roast. Learning sous vide as a cooking method and investing in an immersion circulator will help you achieve a perfect cooked piece of beef every time, without the guesswork.

Directions for DIY Roast Beef

Season the roast beef with garlic and herb seasoning. I used 2 Tablespoons. Place the beef in a bag and vacuum seal.

Set the temperature of the water bath to 133°F. Once the water comes to temperature, drop in the roast.

I cooked the roast for 10 hours at 133°F for a 1.5 lb roast.

Once the roast is finished, you can slice it right away and eat with mashed potatoes and gravy. Searing it to get a nice bown color on the outside is optional. I didn't sear my roast, sincce I knew I would be slicing it thinly for sandwiches.

You can also chill the roast first to make slicing easier.

This roast beef is much better than and cheaper than deli roast beef that can cost $8 per pound.

If meal prep takes you forever, it could be because you don't have the proper tools to make you more efficient in the kitchen. In the video below, I show you step-by-step how to cut a bell pepper with very little waste.

I've made my own yogurt in the slow cooker that turned out great, but now that I have a sous vide immersion circulator, I wanted to try making yogurt the sous vide way as well.

At first glance, it may seem like making yogurt sous vide style is overkill, but one thing I really liked about it is that I could make different flavors of yogurt by infusing the milk with different aromatics during the initial heating process.

It takes time and energy to bake a cake. Even easy cake recipes can go sideways if you dont follow the instructions properly and the cake could turn out to be a complete disaster and total waste of time and ingredients.

Have you made a one bowl cake before? Have you even heard of a one bowl cake? Well its one of the easiest cakes you will ever make.

No sifting or creaming required. Once you have all of your ingredients measured, you can have this cake in the oven in less than 10 minutes, and that’s if you mix the cake by hand, like I did in the video. If you use your mixer, it will take less than 5 minutes!
